"Even the Great Martial Cosmic Array has been evolved out. The power of the Hongmeng Hall will become stronger and stronger, and the hope of my achieving the Dao will become greater and greater."
Linglong Immortal Venerable watched Fang Han urge one array diagram after another, her gaze fixed on the latest and largest array diagram being urged. That array diagram was oval-shaped, and in the center of the oval, stars were resplendent. An illusory phantom of an astral map martial practitioner gradually emerged, constantly performing various martial daos; the cosmos rotated and operated under his fists and kicks.
This was temporarily the most tyrannical array diagram in the Hongmeng Hall, the absolute limit that could be urged below the Heavenly Lord realm.
The Great Martial Cosmic Array.
That martial arts grandmaster inside the astral map, every move of his fists and kicks operated the cosmos. All the disciples cultivating within the Hongmeng Hall immediately felt their divine sense coordinate with the fists and kicks, their bodies carrying a feeling of boiling blood, and a marital dao core seed was actually coalesced within their bodies.
That was the Hongmeng Divine Fist.
The martial arts grandmaster within the astral map was a god of war cohered from Daoist Hongmeng's martial dao intent, evolving the Hongmeng Divine Fist. Once it manifested, all the disciples now seeing this martial arts grandmaster were equivalent to personally receiving the fist techniques taught by Daoist Hongmeng himself.
Any disciple's martial dao intent increased thousands of times.
Their physical bodies were even more peerlessly tyrannical.
Now, the bodily toughness, cultivation, and realm of every disciple of the Epoch Gate completely surpassed the law-enforcing disciples of the Heavenly Court Divine Prison.
Even a Golden Immortal could casually unleash over ten times the combat power without their own laws breaking apart.
The more array diagrams opened, the greater the blessing every disciple received. The people within the Hongmeng Hall would get more benefits, and their cultivation would also progress, thereby opening more array diagrams, which was a virtuous cycle.
Of course, the one who benefited the most was Linglong; she was the master of the Hongmeng Hall. Every time a part of an array diagram was opened, her cultivation and comprehension of the Great Dao increased by a part, and her control over the Hongmeng Hall increased by a part.
She was the orthodox inheritor of Daoist Hongmeng, and the Hongmeng Hall was her supreme treasure. Even if Fang Han opened all the array diagrams in the future, this Hongmeng Hall would still belong to her.
However, Fang Han naturally would not do something like seizing the Hongmeng Hall. Linglong and he had experienced a tribulation of life and death together in the secular world; they were both in a state of absolute trust, their hearts resonating with each other.
Fang Han opened the "Great Martial Cosmic Divine Array", and the martial dao grandmaster within the array diagram was deeply branded into her heart. She sat cross-legged and outlined the Hongmeng Divine Fist time and time again in her divine sense. Every time she outlined it, a special power permeated into her body. Imperceptibly, her black hair fluttered, and her strength elevated fiercely.
At this time, many Ancient Emperors within the hall of the Truth Holy Land saw that on the Heavenly Lord Candidate List, Linglong's name was constantly jumping, actually having a trend of overtaking the first-place Hua Tiandu.
On the other hand, Fang Han had never appeared on the list.
Fang Han closed his eyes, comprehending the structure of the entire Hongmeng Hall. The conception of the entire Hongmeng Hall was extremely massive and vast, with strips of heavenly daos merged within it. Within his body, every single Crystal Divine Kingdom immediately sprouted a stream of Hongmeng Energy, coalescing into the shadow of the Hongmeng Hall, seemingly as if copying the entire Hongmeng Hall.
This kind of cultivation was simply unseen and unheard of; even Linglong felt it was inconceivable.
Fang Han's original creation, the Dao of Epoch, contained the histories of many civilizations, life being like a dream phantom bubble, the impermanence of human life, and the illusion and destruction of life and death dust particles all within it, broad and profound. If pushed to profound depths, Linglong felt it almost surpassed the Hongmeng Heavenly Dao originally created by Daoist Hongmeng.
Speaking of the Hongmeng Heavenly Dao, Fang Han actually thought of Feng Yaoguang, the reincarnation of the Emperor Mirror.
Originally, Feng Yaoguang was also cultivating in the Hongmeng Hall, but Feng Baiyu was formidable, so she left together with him. It was unknown where they went to cultivate. Linglong Immortal Venerable had said that when Feng Yaoguang cultivated in the Hongmeng Hall, she had already merged the Emperor Mirror in Feng Baiyu's hands with her own physical body, thoroughly restoring the ability the Emperor Mirror possessed during its prime to observe the cosmos.
However, Fang Han did not deduce the whereabouts of these old friends right now. Wholeheartedly, he deduced the structure of the Hongmeng Hall, then merged it into his own Dao of Epoch.
His body was structured by crystal divine kingdoms as numerous as the sands of billions of Ganges Rivers. Now, every single crystal divine kingdom manifested the shadow of the Hongmeng Hall, finally cohering into a real tangible form, just like intensely shrunken microscopic models of the Hongmeng Hall.
The Dao of Epoch no longer had a very great demand for power. Right now it was comprehension and elevating realm, and the Hongmeng Hall was the best object of comprehension.
Thinking back to that year, Daoist Hongmeng comprehended in front of the Gate of Eternal Life for ninety thousand years to create the Hongmeng Heavenly Dao, and then created this Hongmeng Hall, establishing the deepest Door of Hongmeng.
Fang Han's current Dao of Epoch also took the soul brand of the Gate of Eternal Life as its core. Comprehending the Hongmeng Hall could enable him to deeply understand the mysteries of the Gate of Eternal Life.
Gradually in the process of comprehension, Fang Han almost branded all the array diagrams into his body. Even for those array diagrams he could not urge, he could forcibly memorize them relying on the Dao of Epoch, to slowly deduce and comprehend their marvels in the future. The array diagrams within this Hongmeng Hall brought great benefits to his path of advancing to Heavenly Lord and elevating his realm.
Reaching the end, as Fang Han comprehended, he gradually discovered that in the absolute core depths of the Hongmeng Hall, a portal indeed existed, constantly spewing out Hongmeng Energy, making the entire grand hall even sturdier.
This was the Door of Hongmeng.
On both sides of the Door of Hongmeng, Fang Han could even see two lines of metal and stone inscriptions, carrying the aura of the initial opening of heaven and earth. It was unknown how many epochs they had existed.
"The Dao essentially has no name, strongly naming it takes it as Dao."
"The God essentially has no form, borrowing false forms to cultivate truth."
The two lines of couplets exhausted all matters of the immortal dao, containing incomparably profound principles.
Rumble!
Seeing these two lines of couplets, the Epoch Divine Array within Fang Han's body instantly accelerated its operation thousands of times. In the absolute core depths of the Epoch Divine Array, the Gate of Eternal Life that had evolved out also underwent a change again, becoming a lot clearer. It seemed as if traces of Qi of Eternal Life were transmitted out from that shadow, making Fang Han want to immediately assault the Heavenly Lord realm.
However, he knew he had to endure and needed complete certainty before he could assault it. Moreover, the rumors said that failing to have enough accumulation while passing the Heavenly Lord grand tribulation would result in extreme weakness, giving others an opportunity to exploit.
In many epochs, there were individuals of stunning talent who passed the Heavenly Lord grand tribulation and became Heavenly Lords, but with their origin energy vastly damaged, before they could pull themselves together, they were caught by other Heavenly Lords and refined into Sacred Grade Immortal Artifacts, their entire cultivation vanishing like smoke and dispersing like clouds.
"Entering the Pill Realm and obtaining a slumbering Fortune Divine Pill, at that time, I can truly assault the Heavenly Lord Dao. Moreover, without the slightest period of weakness…"
Fang Han now had certainty to assault the Heavenly Lord Dao, but beneath the presence of formidable enemies standing like a forest, it was still better to be cautious.
While comprehending, his divine sense permeated past the Hongmeng Hall to look at the scenery outside. Numerous chaotic currents of the void passed by in succession, there was even some distorted space-time, as well as some oceans composed of ancient heavenly tiangang baleful qi, in which some heavenly tiangang baleful qi had coalesced into terrifying baleful beasts, their strength rivaling Ancient Emperors, and forming groups in packs.
The void of the Heaven Realm was boundless and limitless. Even Heavenly Lords could not explore it completely, much less existences below the Heavenly Lord realm.
For existences below the Heavenly Lord realm, toward the Heaven Realm, they were just ants, frogs at the bottom of a well. For their whole life, they could only guard a tiny place and could not witness the sceneries of the outside world.
"Look! Ahead is the Auroral Band of Heaven and Earth!"
All of a sudden, a vast heavenly river blocked the path horizontally in front of the Hongmeng Hall. This heavenly river permeated into unknown numbers of layers of space-time. Even a person with further immense magical power would appear incomparably minuscule in front of this heavenly river.
"This is the Auroral Band of Heaven and Earth, coalesced from the tiangang qi of the opening of heaven and earth. Its power is extremely strong; even if a Heavenly Lord falls into it, it would be difficult to extricate themselves. Within that auroral band, some naturally born baleful beasts even grow. However, relying on the Hongmeng Hall, we can completely shuttle straight past it. Behind this auroral band is the true entrance to the Pill Realm. Only experts at the Heavenly Lord level can shuttle the auroral band; this is a natural barrier."
Fang Han saw this auroral band and knew that the Ancient Pill Realm was not far away.
Under his urging, the Hongmeng Hall flashed repeatedly and barged into the auroral band. He immediately felt all four directions completely filled with surging waves of aurora. These auroras were viscous, heavy, and carried unparalleled lethality. The collisions made the Hongmeng Hall sway slightly. Outside, a cracking sound resounded incessantly, as if it was about to shatter, giving many disciples a feeling of trembling with fear.
"What immense lethality!"
Fang Han also intentionally tested the power within this auroral band ocean. He grabbed with a large hand, extending outside the Hongmeng Hall, snared a clump of aurora inside, and swirled it on his palm. He discovered it carried peerless corrosive ability and could even corrode King Grade Immortal Artifacts; if an Ancient Emperor entered it, they would melt in a short while.
His divine eyes pierced out, yet actually couldn't see through just how deep this auroral band truly was.
Buzz, buzz…
An incredibly massive giant beast cruised out from the depths of the auroral band.
This giant beast was hundreds of millions of miles long. With a slight movement, it caused surging waves in the auroral band. Fang Han could tell its power was almost on par with a Heaven Lord. Its shape was bizarre, spitting and breathing in the auroral band. However, its wisdom was not high. Seeing the Hongmeng Hall, it immediately opened its large mouth to swallow the hall.
"Epoch Divine Array, seal!"
With a flick of Fang Han's finger, a grand array spread directly open outside the Hongmeng Hall, completely sealing this giant beast inside instead. With a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering wail, this giant beast was shrunk and sealed inside a palm-sized piece of crystal stone, entering the Hongmeng Hall and falling onto Fang Han's palm.
Inside this crystal stone, the aura of the giant beast was almost indistinguishable from the Emerald Heaven Lord or Original Gold Heaven Lord, and its power was pure.
"Good stuff, good stuff. This is a Luohou Giant Beast, an existence only produced in the auroral band, which only a Heavenly Lord could collect. To think Fang Han you could actually directly seal it. This giant beast can be sealed into a magic treasure, causing the quality of the magic treasure to leap and elevate by countless grades. Even an ordinary magic treasure incorporated with it could become a King Grade Immortal Artifact, a weapon of kings." Linglong watched and said.
